Wrecka Stow: Sub Pop Records – Seattle-Tacoma International Aiport

If you find yourself near Concourse C at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and need some time to kill, what better place to do it than the Sub Pop Records store?

The place has a little bit of everything, and all of it is related to Sub Pop artists. The book collection is impressive, and I love how it contained stuff for young readers, too.

I was surprised to see the large number of cassettes they had for sale, it seemed to be larger than the number of CDs.

The cassettes wrap around three sides of this pillar.
Whereas the CDs were on seven shelves.

As you can tell, there’s plenty of vinyl, and they had “travel friendly” 7″ vinyl, too.

They have a lot of “Loser edition” records here, which are limited edition colored vinyl versions of these albums. They also have cool stuff like this in some bins at the bottom of shelves.

Well, I need this in my life…Not to mention that Sleater-Kinney album.

There’s plenty of Sub Pop gear to buy as well. You can even buy a replica of Kurt Cobain’s famous flannel shirt.

But this was my favorite shirt there.

I can’t put it any better than that.

Keep your mind open.

I've been a music fan since my parents gave me a record player for Christmas when I was still in grade school. The first record I remember owning was "Sesame Street Disco." I've been a professional writer since 2004, but writing long before that. My first published work was in a middle school literary magazine and was a story about a zoo in which the animals could talk.
